All of this involves WP:BLP violations to New Orleans crime family. Putting aside earlier IP edits, it began with the master adding material, which was reverted by User:Arxiloxos. After a second attempt and a second reversion by Arxiloxos, the transparent account User:Arxiloxosworksformafia was created and made similar edits. Both accounts were indeffed by me. A couple of weeks passed before Cigsandcoffee registered and made two edits to the article, although not naming names in their edits. That last two accounts edited yesterday, and I've semi-protected the article. You might want to look for sleepers.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:08, 22 March 2013 (UTC) Bbb23 (talk) 15:08, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Checked per these diffs and this one to see if this disruption can be stopped with blocks instead of locking the entire page, but in future please bring them forward yourself; it's unreasonable to expect clerks and CheckUsers to retrieve evidence for you. All the accounts listed except Cigsandcoffee are ✅, and I found one sleeper:. . Cigsandcoffee is a to  sock; I suspect it is the same user editing via his mobile device, and would recomend that it is whacked as one. WilliamH (talk) 19:28, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanks, but, frankly, in response to William, I thought I did a reasonable job of presenting sufficient evidence. Each of the editors has a very short contribution history, and I didn't feel it was necessary to provide more diffs to tell the story and demonstrate the problem.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:43, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
